How are the Black Label Telefunken ECC88 tubes and how do they compare to the much more expensive NOS White Label Tele's?

Now we're finally talking some Freya N magic here. I'll have to keep these Gold Lions in mind down the road.

I helped a buddy move records and speakers and subs over the weekend. He has a Kia Sportage PHEV that could run 30 miles on battery alone. While I could wish for at least double that EV range to get me through most of a week of commuting between charges, I like the idea of this kind of setup way...

The Japanese beat you to that a looooooong time ago. This is a craaaaaaazy-good album.

Sweet! It seems to have gotten well-regarded reviews.

I definitely need to backtrack through her catalog. Impressive artist.

I can read and listen to music at the same time, and have always enjoyed doing so the most. I cannot do that if it is hip-hop/rap or the vocals are a spoken-word style. Then it's like trying to listen to two conversations at once.

I'm with you! I have a hard time with short books. Lol That reminds me, I'm greatly due for another LotR read-through and I hear that Andy Serkis (Gollum himself) has been doing splendid recordings for a new audiobook release. Edit: 'new' not 'jew'. Yeesh
